Texas isn't being Californicated by so many tech-neoliberal dudebros. Shouldn't wingnuts like Havana Ted Cruz rejoice? CD Hooks has the receipts, led by Oracle, which ditched the Bay Area for Austin just four years ago, now moving to Nashville. Oracle's being heavily bribed to make the move. Tesla, with massive layoffs, just sux as Elmo Musk runs it into the ground along side of Twitter. Beyond that, the reality is, as Beto-Bob, aka Rump Fuck O'Rourke, knew in 2018, native Texans are less wingnut than the Californicators, at least the ones not tech-neoliberal dudebros. (There's plenty of tech-libertarian nutters, and non-tech world people, among the Californicators.)
